While we are on the subject of the Ultrabase(tm) and UltraBay(tm) there
is "something else" going on.

The UltraBay might be used to hold either a CD/DVD drive or an HDD drive. Each drive has a custom-to-lenovo
thin profile housing.  Under win-dose, the following works:

** Select the tray icon and request "remove" the CD/DVD drive
** eventually win-dose displays "Safe to remove"
** mechanically separate the drive from the UltraBase dock
** insert the HDD
**  win-dose see the drive and behaves as if a USB or similar external drive was connected

The  end-user can read and write the HDD.
After some time, the end use repeats the above steps requesting removal of the HDD.
They can then insert the CD/DVD and resume using the optical drive.

Under Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, 8.10, 9.04 and 10.04 LTS:
Problem #1 -- There is no way to request to remove the CD/DVD.
Problem #2 -- If one boots with the HDD, one can request removal of the drive
but a panic or system not responding happens when inserting the CD/DVD drive.
Problem #3 -- If one uses suspend-to-disk to reconfigure, the installed drive
is routinely not available after system restart. A power-off restart is required to
wake whichever device is in the UltraBase supplied UltraBay.

In short, win-dose supports the UltraBay while Ubuntu does not.
